In close to 30 years in real estate, Dignam Real Estate’s Adam McMahon has not seen a home like 71 Hutton Avenue, Bulli — an architecturally refined four-bedroom, two-bathroom home, on one of the coastal suburb’s most tightly held streets.
“Internally every facet of this property is so well thought out, it’s a joy to be in,” he says.
“From the moment you walk in and feel the warmth of the underfloor heating radiating from beneath, you know this is a home of intentional beauty.
“It’s not real estate talk — this is the kind of home where everyday moments become part of the tapestry of a beautiful life.”
With pristine beaches and lush walking trails in easy reach, the day can start with a morning surf at Sandon Point, followed by a meander through nearby Thirroul, continue with a picturesque ride along the coastal cycleway, and finish with a wine in hand, poolside or fireside — your pick.
The open plan kitchen with bespoke cabinetry and sculptural island bench, living and dining space, with its oversized dining table, forms the heart of the home.
Here, a serene built-in daybed offers a space for quiet contemplation, a morning cuppa or a spot to lose yourself in a good book.
“It offers the kind of flow and the warmth that make it feel beautiful just to be in,” Adam says.
This spills out to an outdoor al fresco space, where a striking white-washed brick privacy wall presents an outdoor potbelly fireplace. From this space, you can keep an eye on the kids in the pool.
“From a family or entertaining perspective, this space hits every mark,” Adam says. “It’s built for long, slow evenings under the open sky.”
Inside, the effortless harmony between form and function continues where spaces characterised by soaring vaulted ceilings, stylish, earthy colour palettes and natural light washing in through skylights and clerestory windows set an expansive, inviting tone.
From the main living space, you’ll access the north-facing informal sunken lounge room that basks in sunshine — a place to kick up your feet.
Each bedroom offers a built-in wardrobe and plush carpets underfoot, and is quietly positioned for rest. The master suite has an en-suite bathroom and flows effortlessly to the pool deck.
Even the bathrooms feel carefully curated.
“From sculptural basins to green-toned vertical tiles, warm brass tapware and that ever-present glow of natural light, the bathrooms are immersive, textural and undeniably relaxing,” Adam says.
Out front, a deep timber-lined balcony offers the perfect perch to savour morning light or golden sunsets, revealing the home’s enviable location between ocean and escarpment, with the pleasures of Bulli’s artisan bakeries, boutique gyms and excellent local schools nearby.
Down the road, the train station provides direct access to Sydney — ideal for commuters who crave a sea change without compromise.
“Bulli is a pocket of the coast that offers a way of life people dream of, and this home shows us how it’s done,” Adam says.
